Is flutter dead too?

[Satyapriy Chindak]

I am new person to enter into flutter framework which is based on DART language, used by google to create large applications?

But Dart is dead. one amongst worst languages to learn in 2018? (Google Search Results)

If It is so then why we are using it in flutter? why not some other language? 

learning Dart Language will help to operate flutter? why it is not used as react native(Javascript)?

Will it even help me to get into industry and showcase what i have learnt? Will it offer a good pay in future?

Or is it feasible idea to drop idea to learn flutter?

Please Reply this question. Special request to Flutter Team to answer this question.

Thank you

Yes, welcome.

This question is answered in the FAQ:

https://flutter.io/faq/#why-did-flutter-choose-to-use-dart

 

learning Dart Language will help to operate flutter?

Yes.

 

why it is not used as react native(Javascript)?

We actually started out using JavaScript to build Flutter, but we found Dart was a better choice for the reasons discussed in the FAQ entry.

 

Will it even help me to get into industry and showcase what i have learnt? Will it offer a good pay in future?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how to answer those questions.

 

Or is it feasible idea to drop idea to learn flutter?

Dart is required to use Flutter.  Most people who have programmed in Java or JavaScript before find Dart quite easy to learn.

Well you definitely not watched Google I/O 2017 or 2018. Or you've never heard of Fuchsia or Google vs Oracle lawsuit over Android(a bit far to say at this moment though). 

Dart is not dead(like Rust or other young programming languages), personally I don't like the language neither, but is the only language to write Flutter application so if you choose to use Flutter you have no choice.

So asking about the language itself is not a good idea IMO, just Dart = Flutter(like Swift = iOS). "Will learing Flutter bring me a brilliant future" could be a nice answer.

Of course the answer about your questions... "bright" industrial future thing is we don't know; If we really can predict your questions I'd rather be a fortune teller not a software engineer.

Based on my experience I can tell that using Flutter is nice for: 

1. A small team but MUST create products running both on iOS/Android,
2. Compile-time error checking language with hot reload

3. Finding a dev. env. which is easy to install and perfectly integrated to popular IDEs

4. Business is mainly presenting products in catalogue-like view

5. Performant and difficult to gain a reverse engineered source code

6. Laughs everyday reading articles on wtfjs.com

And if these are not in your case, just stick to your good old dev envs like Java/Kotlin or Objc/Swift or what's on.

Another thing to consider, there's a lot more to learn after learning a language and before being productive in any framework.
